I could see the light at the end of the painting tunnel, and needed some extra inspiration for pushing forward. Right now, I am tackling the kitchen, which can be more tedious than the other rooms.

Whether you’ve got the rollers out and are changing an entire room, or just have some small canvas work to take care of, this playlist has plenty of feel-goods to keep you moving forward.

If you don’t know how to install a clothes rod, it is a simple process and comes in handy when you need a quick solution for hanging clothes.

Few things make as large of an impact on a home as repainting the interior. The alternatives available to make an equally powerful statement often involve demolition and construction.

Decorative wall coat racks can easily cost $50 or more. I wanted to put a coat rack near the door of my home without breaking the budget, and started looking at my options. Buying one was out of the question, and the time to woodwork a coat rack myself just wasn’t realistic. So, I did what any good DIYer does. I went to IKEA, and made my own IKEA hack. Even better, it takes under 30 minutes to build.
